But Here...

I have stabbed the moon.

My world, plunged into darkness.

I am not blind; but here; I am made to be so.

 

The clouds of misery distort my hopes.

Surrounded by what I cannot reach.

I am not broken; but here; I am made to be so.

 

The hollow emptiness from each breath.

The voices of millions sound viciously cold.

I am not defeated; but here; I am made to be so.

 

The wooden shell rots and decays like flesh.

I am nothingness that lingers like cancer.

I am not dead; but here; I am made to be so.
